Partners who have similar core values and goals will make a stronger. Partners who differ in their core values will have a strained relationship, that won’t last. Consider the following reasons for a stronger relationship:
A vision of the future
Any people get into relationships for different purposes. However, if you want a relationship to last even into marriage, then you with your partner should share a basic, overall picture of how you would like your lives to unfold spiritually, lifestyle-wise, financially and with respect to children. Having the same vision of the future will make your life goals work on the same line hence you won’t strain being together.
A similar sex drive
Of course, sex is must for a relationship to work out well. However, this will work out well when partners have the same sex drive. Either they should have high sex drives or low sex drives to meet each other’s needs. Take note that a person with the high sex drive often feels neglected and sexually frustrated, while that with a low drive typically feels stressed from the pressure to constantly be getting it on.
The same sense of morality
Relationships are built on morality and shared ethics. These two determines your admiration and the esteem in which you hold your partner. Having similar moral value will keep your bond stronger. People who have strong relationship understand each other’s moral and ethical values.
An emotional connection
True love should always have an emotional connection, besides physical attraction. Emotional connections always take relationships to the next level. Take care when your partner is interested more in you physically than emotionally, as this will definitely mean your relationship won’t live long. Someone who wants a future with you will want to get to know you on a multitude of levels and will verbally express the interest in doing so.
The capacity to admit when you're wrong
Any relationship should always be equal, where no partner is superior to the other. Admitting when you are wrong will help seek forgiveness without judgment, thus keeping the relationship alive. Pursuing the truth and admitting mistakes freely will be the best thing in a relationship, then taking a defensive posture and protecting your fragile egos.
